Tivat, Montenegro

Expect a relaxed, local feel at Palma Hotel Tivat’s main restaurant, where you’ll usually find a buffet-style spread combining regional Montenegrin dishes with international crowd-pleasers at breakfast and dinner for Half Board guests.

Large windows and a terrace area make the most of those bay views – especially at breakfast when the water is at its calmest. A lobby or lounge bar (and in-season, a seafront terrace bar) typically serve coffee, soft drinks, wine and cocktails throughout the day and into the evening, making it easy to linger over a drink and watch the lights twinkle across the bay.

Vegetarian and other dietary needs are generally catered for with advance notice; choice can be more limited than in large resorts, so let the hotel know your requirements when you arrive.

You come here for the sea rather than a showpiece pool. Palma Hotel Tivat has its own private beach area just steps from the hotel – a small strip of bathing platform or pebbly shore (typical of Montenegro) leading into the calm, clear waters of the Bay of Kotor.

Sunbeds and parasols are set up for hotel guests in season, giving you an easy spot to swim, sunbathe and drink in those mountain-framed views. The bay is generally very sheltered, making it well suited to relaxed dips rather than big waves.

Some images also show terrace-style relaxation areas overlooking the water – perfect for reading, a sundowner, or simply watching the boats come and go around the bay.

After a day out exploring, head down to the hotel’s spa facilities to unwind. While details vary by season, you can typically expect a small wellness area with treatment rooms for massages and beauty therapies (charged locally), plus a relaxation space that makes the most of the hotel’s tranquil waterfront position.

There’s no large sports complex here – the focus is on low-key relaxation and getting out to discover the region. The seafront promenade is ideal for morning jogs or sunset walks, and local operators nearby can help you arrange boat trips, kayaking or excursions into the mountains and old towns that dot the bay.

Inside, you’ll find a contemporary lobby lounge, seating areas and free Wi‑Fi, so catching up on messages or planning your next day’s exploring is straightforward.

Standard Rooms
Bright, simply-styled rooms that work well as a base between bay-hopping and sightseeing. You can expect air-conditioning or climate control, a private bathroom with shower or bath, TV, and free Wi‑Fi. Many rooms have partial or full sea views over the Bay of Kotor, while others look inland towards Tivat and the surrounding hills.

Storage space is generally compact but well thought out; these aren’t sprawling suites, but they are perfectly comfortable for a few nights or a week on the coast.

Sea View Rooms
If waking up to that iconic bay-and-mountain panorama is a priority, it’s worth opting for a sea view category if available. These rooms usually feature a balcony or large windows overlooking the waterfront promenade and hotel beach area – ideal for sunrise coffees or a private sunset drink before heading out to dinner.

Family or Triple Rooms
Selected room types may accommodate an extra bed or sofa bed, making them suitable for small families or friends travelling together. Space will be snugger than in dedicated suites, but the easy access to the beach and promenade helps compensate.

Accessibility
As is often the case with smaller coastal hotels in the region, fully adapted rooms are limited. If you have specific mobility needs, let us know at enquiry stage so we can check the latest availability and suitability with the property.
